Mark Pattison: Climbing Mountains and Battling Mental Health

It takes a little more to make a champion. I live it myself and I think it's very easy to be average.
Imagine standing on top of the world, both literally and metaphorically. That's the journey Mark Pattison, a former NFL player and current Sports Illustrated executive, is on. In this episode of 'Time Out for Mental Health', Mark opens up about his quest to climb the Seven Summits, the highest peaks on each continent, with only Mt. Everest left to conquer. But this isn't just a story about physical feats.
Mark dives into his struggles with mental health, the pressures of masculinity, and how he's dedicated his climb to his daughter Emilia, who is overcoming her own challenges with epilepsy. Mark's reflections on his NFL days reveal the mental toll of professional sports and the impact of childhood experiences on his mental well-being. He shares how he broke free from toxic masculinity to embrace authenticity, emphasizing the importance of setting ambitious goals while staying true to oneself.
The episode also introduces listeners to Mark's 'pyramid of success', a framework built on character, integrity, and commitment. This isn't just a tale of mountains and mental health; it's a powerful message of hope and perseverance. Whether you're facing your own mental health battles, supporting a loved one, or looking for inspiration to tackle your personal 'Everest', Mark's story offers a beacon of encouragement. Tune in to hear how a former athlete turned entrepreneur scales life's toughest summits.
